> Third Block [Video/Action]

[doingthemistything]

[The feed opens up to the cafe part of the Striaton gym, and anyone who looks is going to find Kirino there and sitting at a table, with a worn-out Swablu on his lap and a battered Mightyena at his feet. His Milotic is nearby, sitting in a tight coil, with Kirino's Shuppet floating about her head. Both look unscathed. Kirino's smiling as he tends to the cotton bird Pokémon on his lap.

Lying near the Xtransceiver's camera is a badge case, opened to reveal the trio badge. There's a comfortable silence hanging over the trainer and his Pokémon... if anyone cares to interrupt.]

[If she was only slightly interested in the video at first, interacting with others mostly to get used to her new trans.. xtren... well, that thing, when she noticed some familiar pink hair she let her her bread fall on the grass and a wild rattata didn't wait too much before stealing it and grabbed the...thing]

Ranmaru?

2/2

[charismaticdefender]

[Yes, it has to be him: even if they spent very little together she'd recognize him anywhere- after all, without him, she'd still be a weak woman and probably her army would have been defeated long ago.]

Ranmaru! [she smiles before moving the xtransceiver closer... and pointing the camera at her dress] Oh, Heavens, I never thought I'd see you again. [Sorry, other pokemon, she isn't considering you too much]

[doingthemistything]

[Unfortunately, the only thing that can be seen in Kirino's eyes as he picks up the Xtransceiver is a distinct lack of recognition.]

... Ah... [He feels bad for not recognizing this lady, and it's clear from his expression.] I'm sorry, have we met? [Alto pushes herself upwards to peer at Jeanne as Kirino studies her... and her outfit. It looked a bit... old-timey?]

[charismaticdefender]

[She blinks, confused] Well, of course we did? We traveled to Vaucouleurs together and... everything... [The screen turns black as she places a finger over the camera] Don't you really know who I am? It's me, Jehanne!
[She takes a little moment to calm down then realizes it's probably what the extalink man meant talking about 'people from different worlds and from different moments in time', something she couldn't really understand at first] Excuse me from the question, Ranmaru, but have you ever been in France before? [At least she sounds vaguely cheerful again]

[doingthemistything]

[He exchanges a look with his Swablu for a moment before looking back at the Xtransceiver.] I haven't. I've always wanted to see it, though.

[charismaticdefender]

I see... [Meanwhile, Gilles chases the wild rattata away before sighing looking at his trainer] Well, then probably we still... didn't met in your timeline? [And the cubone moves closer, grabbing the xtransceiver and finally placing it correctly to show Jehanne's face] Oh, right, that's how I'm supposed to old it... [Then she shakes her head and smiles] Well, it doesn't matter if you don't know who I am, I'm still glad I got to see you again~ [Her good mood seems to be back. Or she's faking really well.] Ah, I'm sorry, I'm probably talking too much... you don't even know who I am and I'm wasting your time like this...
[It's weird talking with someone you know when he can't recognize you]

[doingthemistything]

No, no. It's all right. It's quite possible we haven't met yet. [He offers Jeanne a (somewhat uneasy) smile.] Ah... you know my name already, but... may I ask yours? If we're friends sometime in the future, then who says we can't start a little early in this case?

[charismaticdefender]

Well, that'd somehow explain why I always felt like you already knew about me even if we never met before. [She tilts her head and chuckles gently] My name is Jehanne.

[doingthemistything]

["Jehanne"... He lets that sink in for a moment, eying her clothes again. There's something about this lady that he just can't put his finger on...]

It's a pleasure to meet you... In my case, that is. Haha.

[charismaticdefender]

[Don't you get it? She's a cosplayer but, shhh, don't tell anyone! At least she's far from calling herself 'La pucelle d'Orléans' or any other title the others started using so far.

Pfft... you know, that's a little weird. [She chuckles] Anyway, pleasure it's mine~ I'd offer you a candy or few sweets but we're probably distand and I still have to learn how to use the berries or how to make... how do they call them? Oh, right, the poffins. [Wait, Jeanne, humans aren't supposed to eat them!]

[doingthemistything]

[That's all right. He'll just sit here in the dark for a while until he puts the pieces together himself.]

Poffins? I was under the impression they weren't for humans to eat. [He chuckles a bit, the Swablu on his lap pushing her way into the feed some more.] Ah! Don't mind Alto, she's the curious sort.

[charismaticdefender]

[Of course, of course...

Oh? [Really?]... I meant, for your pokaimon! [Nah, she didn't.] When I'll learn how to use [The diabolical devices inside a normal modern kitchen] What I have to use I'll make sure to bake poffins for your friends. [She doesn't get it but it seems they're pretty important and it's part of her new job as breeder to mak them] It's all right [She grins] There's no problem with your little companion, I already met few other curious fellows.

[doingthemistything]

I can imagine. I think a lot of Pokémon are pretty curious. [Of course, they can also be territorial. Which isn't good.] Alto was already really friendly with humans to start off with.

[charismaticdefender]

Tee hee, so true... [She still has to meet a really aggressive or territorial pokemon] A friendly pokemon with a kind owner, that's a nice match [She giggles] My Gilles isn't really expansive, tought. [They may be stupid discussions but she's really, really happy just to see him again... so, please, don't mind too much if she's smiling like an idiot]
